GameRoute
A Windows app that automatically identifies the servers of running games and traces the network path to them.
Context
At SFR, Iām building the network map. As a customer too, I wanted to see where my traffic was going when I played, which lets me cross-check both viewpoints: the network from the operator side, and what I see from the client side.
How it works
The app runs in the background and uses pktmon to capture network packets. It matches the running game process with the IPs seen through pktmon.
Once the game exits, the app runs a traceroute to every identified IP and shows the results in a graphical interface, with server geolocation thanks to MaxMind GeoLite2.
Why Tauri?
I wanted a native, lightweight Windows app. Tauri lets me write the heavy network logic in Rust (capture, parsing, traceroute) and the UI in TypeScript/React.
Today
First public release in 2026. Open source, Windows binary on GitHub. No code signing for now: Windows SmartScreen will show a warning on first launch.
